When do the kicks get under your ribs?

Hi all, I'm 26weeks and am a bit worried that my kicks are too low. Most of them seem to be at belly button height.. the highest about 2 inches above belly button.

Baby is active and i can see the kicks... which i still find fascinating! But i was wondering when you can feel baby under your ribs (i've heard this is rather uncomfortable!) And when do the kicks turn into pushing? x x x x

Hi Jennie, I am 22 weeks and I feel them really low down around my pelvis area. They said that the baby was in a breech position when I had my 20 week scan so that would make sense why it is so low down. It must all depend on what position your baby lies in. I've yet to see any major movement but can just about see my skin move now when I feel little kicks - its amazing! x

I started noticing kicks right under my ribs about 35 weeks or so. Im sure everybody is different and some babies dont turn until the last min but its pretty much when they start running out of room and u have to try and push the foot back out from underneath!!! and yes- its uncomfortable!! my LO is now 41 weeks and she is deffinatly getting stroppy now for lack of space!Hannah xx

Don't start wishing for kicks under your ribs - they are painful!! My baby has been kicking there for the last 3 weeks and I now have a constant pain in my ribs whenever I go to sleep at night, enjoy the lower down kicks - you'll regret the rib kicks when they arrive.

Hi thereMine are pretty low down and just on my belly button. At night when I lay on my left side she is there, I hope I am not squashing her, she is kicking where I am laying !!!! I love the feeling and like you all say dreading it when its under my ribs. I don't have a very high pain threshhold so I expect I will be moaning about it Hope u all have a good day. Sun is shining here in Portugal (just to make u jealous !)xxxx

I didn't feel any movement until about 22 weeks and was quite worried.....now though it seems baby has foiund his feet and I don't get any let up......I have the odd day where he is more docile, but a moajority of the time he is moving and really active constantly.....they say that the waking and sleeping pattern that they have now is one that they may have when they are born...if that is the case then he will be awake most of the time!!!! My first proper kicks were just under the ribs but not really high enough to be painful, but now he seems to be rolling all over the place....I get kicked high up, in my belly and in my side....he seems like he is having fun!!!I too have had the really uncomfortable ribs and have had to keep walking around and ribbing them to ease it......I am only 26 weeks, so am worried.....it baby can do that now, then what will he be capable of over the next 3 months as he gets bigger????
